Neuschloss (New Castle), Meersburg
The baroque New Castle
of Meersburg was built between 1712 and 1760 as residency of Constance Prince Bishops . Today the castle is home to several museums. In addition to the Town Gallery (Städtische Galerie) and the Dornier Museum, which take up the 2nd floor, the New Palace is also home to the Palace Museum of the Prince Bishops (Fürstbischöfliche Schlossmuseum) on the 3rd floor.

Magnificent furniture, wainscots, stoves, numerous paintings and the former house altar are evidence of royal glamour.
